PIMA Council on Aging Pension Information and Counseling Project. Final ProgramProject Report

摘要

The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare's PIMA Council onAging Pension Information and Counseling Project began on September 30, 1993, and ran through June 30, 1995. The project's main objective was to respond to the need for pension information and counseling among low and moderate income seniors and to assist them in securing the full level of benefits to which they are entitled, as well as helping them make the best use of all of their retirement benefits. In addition, the project was to determine what resources are available and/or lacking on a national basis that can be used effectively by locally based pension counseling programs. Lastly, the Pension Information and Counseling Project was to evaluate the efficacy of the demonstration program and provide guidelines for how it could be improved and replicated throught the country. A grant from the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) provided partial funding for the Pension information and Counseling Demonstration Project, with the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) supply matching funds.
